Niles North High School

[edit]

If every high school had it's own page Wikipedia would double in size. Preisler 04:52, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. Has potential to become encyclopedic. --Andylkl 05:44, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Notability not established, and this is not even an article. Wikipedia is not a yellow pages. Indrian 06:50, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, BEEFSTEW score of zero. —Korath (Talk) 08:27, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong delete as high schools are not inherently notable. Radiant! 09:00, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, Mikkalai 09:59, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. ALL schools are inherently notable.--Centauri 11:57, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • See m:Wiki is not paper. Keep Dan100 12:55, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)
    • Since that argument can be equally applied to keep each and every single article, it's not particularly valid. Quality is more important than quantity. Wikipedia is not the internet. Radiant! 15:44, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)
There is no logical reason or necessity to delete any article in Wikipedia that is not nonsense, vanity or original research.--Centauri 13:05, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep This and all school articles. Wincoote 14:36, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, I don't see how Wikipedia doubling in size would be a bad development. - SimonP 15:34, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete. Not all schools are inherently notable. The point is not size limit, but the very concept of what is and what is not encyclopedic. vlad_mv 15:39, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Schools are not inherently notable. This is non-notable. Carrp | Talk 16:09, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Notability not established. Article in its entirety reads "Niles North High School in Skokie, Illinois is part of District 219.", and there's one external link. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 17:39, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, We have kept many school articles and as stated, a school in itself is notable due to the function it has. This article could need a rewrite and expansion though. Inter 18:10, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge: I just added a list to the Illinois page, Illinois#High_Schools. The information on the page-to-delete could/should be merged into the school's entry on that page. Courtland 19:40, 2005 Feb 20 (UTC)
  • Delete. Schoolcruft. Gamaliel 19:44, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - there's no content here. -- Cyrius|✎ 21:38, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. If the person who created the article doesn't even attempt to establish notability, I don't see much chance for improvement. -Aranel ("Sarah") 23:47, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Bogus nomination (not in line with deletion policy) - David Gerard 00:01, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment:That's nice. Please read up on: Wikipedia:Civility and Wikipedia:Wikiquette. Thank you. Preisler 00:37, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment. Given the lack of civility and assumption of good faith that he's evidenced on this page, you might consider writing up an ArbCom complaint. Oh, wait, he's an arbitrator. --BM 01:02, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment. If I wasn't such a sucker for irony that would be really sad :) Preisler 02:02, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. There is nothing whatsoever bogus about this nomination. RickK 00:11, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable school. Pretty soon we'll be arguing with the keep-everything crew over whether individual preschools and day-care facilities deserve articles. — Gwalla | Talk 02:35, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • They do. What's your point? --Centauri 13:20, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • Actually, I remember some people saying that "of course" all preschools should be included (who it was, escapes me at the moment). I disagree. Make a mention in Skokie, Illinois and delete - Skysmith 11:08, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable. Jayjg (talk) 04:55, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Norman Rogers\talk 09:57, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • STRONG delete as yet another example of some kid typing something totally and utterly banal and incomplete on a school computer. This is NOT an article. It is a single sentence. District 219? What the hey is that? There is more content in this discussion than in that statement. I refuse to call it an article. - Lucky 6.9 23:06, 22 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • I refuse to call it an article as well. But it is a valid stub submission so keep it.
